As Qiong and Huang Quan left the room, they happened to see Liu Ying coming out from next door. Upon seeing his beautiful wife, Qiong eagerly went up to her, grabbed her hand, and led Liu Ying and Huang Quan downstairs for breakfast.

"Why are you here?"

Qiong glanced at Yun Li, who was sitting at the table eating the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) he had ordered, and asked with an incredulous expression, "I don't remember if I've transmigrated, when did I start eating at the same table with a child?"

"Is your injury healed?"

Yun Li didn't feel obligated to eat Qiong's breakfast; she still looked at him with the same unfriendly expression as yesterday, as if she wanted to devour him.

"Alright, what do you want to do?"

Qiong only pretends to be injured in front of his wife; he is always very tough in front of outsiders. Since Yun Li has been asking him, he certainly won't avoid the question.

"Of course I'll beat you up after you've fully recovered. Until then, I'll keep an eye on you every day."

Yun Li still holds a grudge. She was angry all night yesterday. After being amused by her anger, she continued to be angry, and this cycle repeated itself until she thought of trampling Qiong under her feet and making him beg for mercy.

"At such a young age, instead of learning good things, you're becoming a stalker," Qiong said, shrugging.

"You... Hmph, since you're all better now, come up to the ring with me!"

Yun Li knew that no matter how many years she practiced her verbal skills, she would never be a match for Qiong, so she chose to use force. Once on the stage, she wouldn't give him time to talk.

"Go ahead and try. Once you lose, I'll enslave you properly. Maids have to call their masters."

Qiong accepted Yun Li's challenge, which was already agreed upon. He was never afraid of challenges. How did the Great Black Tower fall for him in the first place? Apart from Ruan Mei's little bit of help, wasn't it because he constantly challenged strong enemies to improve himself when testing the simulated universe? Qiong's combat talent is definitely at the maximum level, but he usually only knows how to chase women and never puts his heart into training.

Arenas are found everywhere, and there is one right behind Sichen Palace. Qiong and Yunli chose this place as their battleground, not worried about the Sichen Palace staff coming to stop them. Xianzhou is also a place that values ​​martial arts, with all kinds of martial arts schools emerging one after another. In addition to the Yunqi Army, there are also some people who have learned their skills all their lives and mingle in the martial arts world. Sparring is a common occurrence for them.

"Hey bro, let's go!"

Yun Li easily jumped onto the arena. She was speaking to the giant sword that was taller and wider than her. The sword looked peculiar, with a rusty exterior and no blade. It was more like a blunt weapon for smashing people than for cutting them. Combined with Yun Li's address, it seemed to be a sword with a story.

Chapter 294 It still has to be the train that cleanses the world.

Qiong, holding a lance, leaped onto the arena. When facing an enemy whose background was unknown, Qiong had become accustomed to testing them with his life-saving technique. In any case, no matter how powerful the murderer was, they would break their teeth when they encountered a turtle shell like him.

"That's your weapon? It would be perfect for a charging Cloud Rider."

This was the first time Yun Li had seen Qiong wielding a weapon. The lance was different from a spear; it was most powerful when charging. Yun Li knew how to deal with it at a glance. In addition, she had a special ability: she could hear the thoughts of the opponent's weapon.

Perhaps it was because her father was a great blacksmith, or perhaps it was because of the influence of Sui Yang, the great enemy of the Immortal Ship, but Yun Li unknowingly developed this ability. If she listened to the enemy's weapon before the battle began, she might be able to find a way to break it. For example, some weapons are incompatible with their owners, so it is easy to find their weaknesses. Some weapons are inherently arrogant and do not obey their owners' commands, which is also a weakness. In any case, listening to them will definitely not be wrong.

[Another pretty little girl, too bad she'll just end up with another lucky owner.]

Yun Li was intently staring at Qiong's lance when she heard these thoughts. She paused for a moment, then rubbed her ears and continued listening.

[My master has already used me to lure many women home. Every time, I'm the one who gets beaten up, while he enjoys the ride. I wonder how he'll trick them this time. Women who are hostile to my master always end up being tricked into bed, and this one will definitely be no exception.]

"You shameless, wicked bastard!"

Hearing Qi Qiang's unbearable thoughts, Yun Li's face turned red with anger. She wasn't some clueless little girl; of course she understood what going to bed meant. Immediately, she spread her legs, planted her feet on the ground, and suddenly raised her giant sword. The sword expanded in the wind, instantly becoming ten times its original size. From a distance, it looked as if Yun Li was lifting a huge building to smash someone.

"You've got guts."

Qiong was also surprised by the special abilities Yun Li displayed. It was already amazing that this child could wield a greatsword, but to be able to make the greatsword even bigger during battle meant that she must have borrowed some kind of destiny power. With such explosive power, she could either hunt or destroy.

"Slay the floating clouds, drink—!"

Yun Li exhaled a breath of white qi, as if her body was burning. She slammed the greatsword down heavily. As long as the weapon was big enough, there was no need to worry about the hit rate. This was a lesson she had learned from using the Greatsword for a long time.

Faced with the earth-shattering blow, Qiong simply raised his lance with one hand, pointing the tip directly at the massive sword fragment that was crashing down. Since it had no blade, it was the perfect opportunity to break through from a single point.

As Yun Li wielded her sword, she noticed amber-colored light emanating from Qiong's body. This light gathered around him like an eggshell, protecting him. At that moment, the greatsword fell, colliding violently with the tip of the lance. Even if an ordinary weapon could withstand this blow, the user would be slammed into the ground and injured. This is what makes Yun Li's attacks different from traditional sword techniques. Yun Li's attacks are always wide and sweeping, aiming to injure the opponent's bones and muscles.

Just when Yun Li thought Qiong would be smashed into the ground, a scene that shocked her occurred. The iron she slammed down failed to push the lance down, and the paving stones beneath Qiong's feet did not shatter. All the force was absorbed by the protective power within him. With such protective will, the ground not only remained intact but also fed back a force, allowing the lance to push the greatsword away.

After the giant sword failed to win its attack, it returned to its original size. Yun Li had just planted the old iron in the ground in front of her when she saw Qiong, who was covered in flames, charge towards her at incredible speed. In an instant, he was in front of her, the tip of his lance pressed against the old iron's blade. The violent impact almost made Yun Li fall over, but she was also a girl with immense strength. She firmly planted her feet on the ground and forcibly blocked the force of the charge.

After Qiong's charge ended, to Yun Li's astonishment, he released his grip on the lance, letting it remain embedded in Lao Tie's body. He then pulled out a blue hat from somewhere and tossed it into the air. Yellow stars fell like special effects, and Yun Li's eyes widened in surprise. She sensed the power of shared destiny in those stars; she had never seen anyone change their destiny while fighting.

It wouldn't have been difficult for Yun Li to dodge the stars, but they obstructed her vision. She also had to guard against the attack from the dome in front of her. When a star hit her on the head, she squinted in pain. When she recovered, she saw a baseball bat coming straight at her.

"Home run!"

With a shout from Qiong, Yun Li stared wide-eyed as she saw more than a dozen layers of Blessing of Destruction covering the baseball bat. She was so angry she almost laughed. First came Protection, then Harmony, and now even Blessing of Destruction. Even in a friendly spar, this was just bullying.

After receiving the blessing of destruction, the baseball bat displayed astonishing power. Qiong swung the bat from below, and although Yun Li blocked the damage with her greatsword, her body still floated into the air and flew upwards. Qiong then stomped his feet hard, raised the baseball bat, and flew up to chase after him in mid-air. When Yun Li saw Qiong flying over, she threw her old iron without hesitation. The greatsword smashed towards Qiong like a wall. Yun Li used the recoil from throwing the weapon to fly in another direction. As long as her feet could still touch the ground, she could immediately recall her old iron and continue fighting.

Qiong dodged the incoming greatsword in mid-air, zigzagged, and quickly arrived directly above Yun Li. He put the blue hat on his head and snapped his fingers at Yun Li.

"Watch closely, this is the ultimate secret of the Star Train: Train Cleansing the World!"

Qiong mobilized all the harmonic power in his body and summoned a phantom of a star train in mid-air. This phantom was not as huge as it was when he fought his brother-in-law, but it was still big enough to cling to Qiong's arm and transform into a train arm. As he swooped down, the train arm slammed heavily into Yun Li's chest, almost denting her already flat chest.

"How could I lose to such a ridiculous move..."

As Yun Li plummeted, she couldn't help but utter a final, powerful complaint: "This is too unfair!" She had never imagined that Qiong could switch between three different destinies—no, it seemed to be four. The last train looked comical, but it was the power to open up new destinies. Moreover, he possessed so many blessings from different destinies. Blessings couldn't be used without a certain understanding of destinies. Even if he had been walking his destiny path since he was an embryo, he shouldn't have been blessed by so many destinies by now. This was practically cheating.

Chapter 295 Maid +1

Yun Li also discovered that Qiong could actually fly, and not just with the sword-flying technique commonly used by the Immortal Ship people, but with true gravity-defying takeoff. He could change direction at will in mid-air and at great speed. This really put Yun Li in a tough spot. Yun Li didn't have the skill to fly and could only rely on jumping to get into the sky. Moreover, she clearly remembered that the last time she met Qiong and beat him up, he didn't show any signs of being able to fly. At that time, she had even thrown him into the sky, but he still didn't take off. He hid it too well.

Yun Li had closed her eyes and was waiting for the fall to her death when she found herself in a warm embrace. She opened her eyes and looked at Qiong, who was holding her. He had stood on the ground, which had saved her from the fall, although her chest still hurt a little.

"You lost, kid."

Qiong said triumphantly to Yun Li, while Yun Li glared at him through gritted teeth, as if to say that he was cheating by using so many different destinies to deal with her. But those powers were indeed Qiong's own, not something he asked someone to help him with, so Yun Li could be considered to have lost fair and square.

"March 7th, take my little maid over to change into a different outfit, the maid outfit you wore before."

After Qiong put Yunli down, he said to Sanyueqi. Yunli's face turned red with anger when she heard this. She had indeed promised to become Qiong's maid if she lost. She hadn't thought she would lose at the time, and now it was too late to regret it.

"I don't have her size here."

March 7th was actually quite eager to see Yun Li, this adorable girl, wear a maid outfit. Anyway, she had already shown it to Qiong before, but the size was a bit off. March 7th had finally met a girl with a worse figure than herself; she had always been at the bottom of the list before.

"If you don't have any, just order some. The Fairy Ship is so big, surely it can make maid outfits. First, get her a pair of shoes; she's always barefoot and dirty."

Qiong gave March 7 a suggestion. Anyway, he wasn't short of money. As he spoke, he looked at Yun Li with disdain. Being barefoot can look nice sometimes, but how could it not get dirty if you run around outdoors every day? Qiong couldn't even imagine how dirty the water Yun Li used to wash her feet every day was.

"I did that to increase my lower body stability when swinging the sword, because shoes would make it slippery."

Yun Li glared at Qiong angrily and said that she didn't do this because she liked it; it was only because she had no choice but to use her swordsmanship. Besides, she was quite vain; didn't you see that she had nail polish on every toe?

"Then you can switch back when you're fighting. I don't want a maid who doesn't wear shoes."

Qiong is now Yunli's master, so whatever he says is right. Yunli immediately lowered her head and replied dejectedly. She doesn't break her word. Rather than be looked down upon by her grandfather and Ling Sha, she might as well endure it this time. Anyway, she'll be free after the martial arts ceremony ends.

"By the way, how come Qiong suddenly became so strong? Was this how he fought before?"

It was only at this point that March 7th slapped her forehead, realizing that Qiong had defeated Yun Li in a crushing manner. However, in her memory, Qiong had never fought like this before; he was so strong that it was as if he had become a completely different person. At least March 7th was certain that she couldn't beat Yun Li, let alone Qiong.

"He possesses four different destinies, and he can master them all. He can't be called a martial arts genius; he should be called a destiny genius?"

Dan Heng also spoke up at this moment. Although his eyes and mouth twitched when Qiong mentioned the train's cleansing of the world, he still praised Qiong's change. He had never seen anyone use the power of destiny like this before, which was truly remarkable.

"This guy is favored by the Star God. When will I be able to get the Star God to take a second look at me?"

March 7 nodded. What happened to Qiong was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Maybe the Star God gave him some kind of big gift when he was watching him. This guy's combat power is as fast as a rocket. Little March used to be able to bully him, but now even if several of them are tied together, they can't do anything to Qiong.

"March 7th, why don't you join the Hunting Path? I'll teach you the Immortal Boat Sword Technique."

Upon hearing what March 7th said, Yun Li suggested that the Immortal Ship's hunting path is very broad. As long as one learns the Immortal Ship's sword, one can enter the path. The Hunting Star God never cares how many people join, as long as they are not from the Abundant People.

"Is this okay?"

March 7 asked Yun Li in surprise. She had thought about it before, but felt that it would be troublesome for Professor Yun Li. Their relationship wasn't that good, but Yun Li didn't mind at all.

"Of course you can. I have nothing to do anyway, and you look very smart, so you'll definitely learn it in no time."

Yun Li continued to promote herself as a top coach, partly because she liked March 7th, but mostly to keep herself occupied.

"How could you be so naughty? If you went to teach March 7th, you wouldn't be able to control me anymore. You're full of bad ideas."

Qiong came up behind Yunli, put her right hand under her cheek, cupped her chin with her palm and gently kneaded her soft face. She said, "How could someone as smart as Qiong not see what Yunli is thinking? But it's already quite good that she could figure this out with her intelligence."

"Hmph, I'm not selling myself to you, of course I'm going to help my good friend."

Yun Li wasn't angry when her cheeks were pinched. She just mumbled that Qiong hadn't hurt her, he was just bullying her. This was common in the Immortal Ship. It was only natural to be humiliated when you were less skilled than others. You could only blame yourself for not being strong enough.

Later, on March 7th, Qiong excitedly dragged Yunli to a clothing store to order maid outfits. Qiong also went to watch the fun. However, he did not expect that Liuying and Huangquan, who were with him, were also interested. Both of them ordered a maid outfit. It goes without saying who they were wearing it for.

Yun Li paid for a new outfit herself, made to fit San Yueqi perfectly. In her words, she would be San Yueqi's master from now on, so it was only natural to give her disciple a gift. Later, she would also ask her grandfather for a weapon suitable for San Yueqi to use. It was a weapon personally crafted by General Huaiyan, which showed great sincerity. San Yueqi was so moved that she wanted to kneel down and perform the apprenticeship ceremony right now.

After doing all that, Qiong took Yunli to the Pill Cauldron Division. After all, she was the one who lost, so it was safe to have her seen by a doctor. Qiong also wanted to take the opportunity to see his fiancée, Lingsha.

Inside the Pill Cauldron Department, Ling Sha was flipping through the books left behind by the previous head of the department. She seemed to be in a good mood. With the evidence that Qiong had given her, she was no longer worried about the Chiming Clan causing her trouble openly or secretly. At the very least, those crimes would be punished by being expelled from the Immortal Ship. Once a group of parasites from the Chiming Clan were eliminated, the remaining filth would lose their backing and naturally scatter like monkeys when the tree falls. Therefore, her pressure was greatly relieved.

Chapter 296 Ambergris

"My dear, I've come to see you."

Ling Sha was thinking about Qiong when she heard his voice. She put down the book in her hand and looked at Qiong who walked into her courtyard. A gentle smile appeared on her lips. If Yun Li hadn't been following behind her, she might have gone up and hugged Qiong.

"Sister Lingsha, he bullied me."

As soon as Yun Li got close, she threw herself into Ling Sha's arms and began to cry about everything Qiong had done. Even though she had lost, she still had to complain; she couldn't let Qiong be comfortable with Ling Sha.

Ling Sha looked at Yun Li with some surprise. It seemed that she had suffered some minor injuries. After hearing the explanation, she learned why the two of them had fought. Yun Li had even lost her job to Qiong as a maid.

"Look at you, how could you agree to those conditions without thinking, just like me? This is a classic case of 'loose lips sink ships,' you should learn from this lesson in the future."

Ling Sha gently patted Yun Li's head. Because the injury was on her chest, it was inconvenient for Yun Li to take off her clothes, so she could only move her to the alchemy room to treat her.

Ling Sha wasn't surprised that Yun Li lost to Qiong. Although Yun Li was also a genius swordsman, known as one of the Eight Flame Wheels in her hometown, Qiong was a different person. He could easily outmaneuver a woman like the former Si Ding. He was both intelligent and skilled in martial arts. Now Yun Li knew what it meant to be outmatched and would be less impulsive in the future.

"Sister Lingsha, please take a look at my chest. He hit me hard. Will it shrink?"

Yun Li took off her top, which consisted of only a few pieces of cloth, in the alchemy room and told Ling Sha how she was injured. She was still very concerned about her body shape. Some people on the Immortal Ship were the size of children even when they were adults, and she did not want to become like that.

"Oh dear, it looks like it's dented, what should I do?"

Ling Sha feigned surprise, deliberately trying to scare Yun Li so she wouldn't keep picking fights and getting herself injured.

Ling Sha has treated her countless times.

"That despicable bastard, I'll make him pay!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Li flew into a rage and blurted out those words. Then she saw Ling Sha looking at her with a strange expression and realized that she had said the wrong thing.

"Ah, I mean I'll be responsible for me until I'm healed, no, I mean I'll be responsible for me growing up."

Yun Li tried to explain it several times, but none of the explanations sounded right. If it was really because of sparring with Qiong that she couldn't grow up, then she would definitely make him pay.

"You can't blame others for not growing up. You know what the physical constitution of the Immortal Ship people is like."

Ling Sha slapped Yun Li's bottom in an annoyed tone and said that she had already examined the injury and that it would be fully healed with just two pills. If Yun Li wasn't the younger sister she had watched grow up, Ling Sha wouldn't have wanted to waste her pills.

With injuries like this, Yun Li's physique would allow her to recover on her own after a good night's sleep. This child may not look very big, but his body is as strong as a brown bear. Of course, this doesn't refer to his appearance, but rather the strength contained within his muscles and bones. Otherwise, how could he wield such a gigantic iron rod? If it were just a matter of increasing the size of the iron rod without enhancing its mass, it wouldn't be lethal.

Yun Li angrily finished dressing. She felt that her sister Ling Sha no longer loved her. Instead of joining her in condemning Qiong, that scoundrel, she was siding with Qiong and talking about her. She personally experienced the despair of an older sister who is no longer needed; she realized that a man really would abandon his younger sister.

"Ling Sha, I miss you. One night apart feels like an eternity."

After Qiong waited for Ling Sha to come out, he went up to her and affectionately took her red hand, interlocking his fingers to feel her warmth.

"Nonsense literature, huh?"

Ling Sha rolled her eyes at Qiong, but showed no resistance. She was already accepting of holding hands, and even something more intimate wouldn't be out of the question; it just depended on when Qiong would be bold enough.

"Your hands are so beautiful, and your feet are beautiful too. When do you have time so I can touch them more often? I want to see how our skin is different."

Qiong, taking advantage of the situation, lifted Ling Sha's hand, put it to her lips, and kissed her fingers, saying that she could actually see some traces of dragon scales on her body, and Qiong wanted to try how it tasted, but she was afraid that Ling Sha would beat her up.

"You're just trying to take advantage of me. With so many women, why would you care about me?"

Ling Sha thought that this guy was a lecherous man who was quite skilled at deceiving women. What surprised Qiong was that she did not seem to reject him, which meant that she was indifferent.

"I treat all my wives the same, there's no such thing as one being more noble... it's just that you're really beautiful."

Qiong hugged Ling Sha's body and said that he never hid his nature of being attracted to beautiful women. Ling Sha also knew that he approached her because she was beautiful. She was so pure and without any impurities that she was easy to accept. Beauty was also one of her innate advantages, so why should she refuse the benefits it brought?

"Yun Li is right there."

Ling Sha gently nudged Qiong and said softly that if Yun Li weren't there, she could be closer to Qiong. Qiong turned her head and saw that Yun Li was puffing up like a little frog, looking rather cute in her jealousy.

"You maid Yunli, go boil water and make tea. Adults are on a date, children shouldn't watch."

Qiong waved to Yun Li, completely disregarding her thoughts, and instead added fuel to the fire, perfectly embodying the detestable adult role, even though Yun Li was already an adult.

"You bastard, just wait until I scald you to death with boiling water."

Yun Li stormed off to boil water. Despite her tantrums and bad temper, she was true to her word and would do whatever Qiong said, which made Qiong think she was quite good.

After Yun Li left, Qiong lifted Ling Sha's chin and brought his lips close to hers to taste her. Ling Sha pursed her lips, shyly turned her face away, and let Qiong kiss her cheek. She accepted the kiss, but she was still not mentally prepared for it and wanted to spend more time with Qiong.
